I am thinking about starting a custom line of pirates of the carribean attacktix. I already have some ideas for tix characters. Jack Sparrow Striker Will Turner Striker Barbosa Shooter Davy Jones Shooter The Black Pearl Mega The Flying Dutchman Mega If anyone has any other ideas please post and I will see what I can do about making them.

Fun, Which figures do you think you'll use as the base for each of these?

PotC action figures come in a couple of different sizes...I'm betting one of them is rather close in scale to 'Tix.
The launcher figures should be fairly easy...you can always chop a gun off of a Stormtrooper or whatever and mount it in place on the fig, and then put them on a base. However, the striker figures will be tough, since I doubt they have any built in mechanism. Good luck!

Great, ambitious project! The PoTC figures I've seen were either quite a bit too small or big in relation to Hasbro Attacktix, but might do just fine amongst themselves. Just look what JP and I have done with the GI Joe Sigma Six figures, a whole lot of fun and look great. Sure yours will be awesome!
Davey Jones claw striker perhaps....and Lady Swan.

I'll probably just use any spare base i have. Thanks for the support. davy jones claw striker does sound like a good idea. Like you said it will be easy to make the shooters because all i would have to do would be 2 cut off a stormtroopers gun and put it on a potc figure.

i just finished jack sparrow shooter and The black pearl mega. the black pearl is mounted on 1 base and uses 16 guns. 7 on both sides and 2 in the front. the guns are mounted on swivelling bases and i gave them hinges to make them look like super optimus prime vehicle modes gun. I will post pictures as soon as i learn how.

SIXTEEN guns? I think you just made the first 300pt Mega. I picked up a few of the POTC Zizzlingers when Wal-Mart put them on clearance. They are actually a tad small, but can easily work for some of the launcher types, especially when doing characters that actually are small.

I'll probably give The flying dutchman mega 20 guns. the same as the black pearl only i'll add 2 guns to each side to make the triple cannons. the special effect will be If you have a Davy Jones iand 3 other flying dutchman crew members then take the figure that attacked the flying dutchman out of play. I'm also in the mental process of creating a kraken figure. It will be just a squid bathtub toy but e will make the attack like attacktix mans carnage. the black pearl and the flying dutchman will act as transporters to move various crewmembers of the ships from place to place.
